GOD IS SOVEREIGN: HE IS WORKING OUT HIS PLANS AND PURPOSES FOR PLANET EARTH

When we look around and see all the horrible things happening in the world – and even in the church – and it seems overwhelming. Whether it is Western nations seemingly headed on a downward spiral, or conflict in the Middle East, or communist China making menacing moves, or culture wars going berserk, or scandals in our churches, it can seem overwhelming.

Thank goodness the Bible, God’s Word, gives us many examples of people just like us in similar circumstances who were able to hear from God about what He was doing and even though they did not know the why, they came to terms with the fact that God is in control and knows what He is doing. Habakkuk is a great example. Check it out, he ended up getting the right view on things, and we must as well.

The three chapters of the book are easily broken down in outline form:

  • 1:1-4 Habakkuk’s first lament or complaint
  • 1:5-11 Yahweh’s first response
  • 1:12-2:1 Habakkuk’s second lament or complaint
  • 2:2-20 Yahweh’s second response
  • 3:1-19 Habakkuk’s prayer

Like Habakkuk, we need the courage of discernment—to know and trust that God remains sovereign in the world of history and nature. We need to listen to the news with this perspective in mind. ‘Look at the nations and watch…’ (Hab.1.5). Watch out for God at work particularly as the Bible reveals we are in the last days before Jesus returns to set up His Millennial Kingdom and restore righteousness.

WHEN DOES GOD SEND A STRONG DELUSION?

We’re all living through the Biblical STRONG DELUSION of 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 and most don’t even know it. What is the delusion allowed by God? Click here to watch this amazing Nelson Walters video to discover what is deluding many in our churches today.

The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

PROOF GOD IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THE EVENTS OF HISTORY

We can be certain that the most important events of Jesus’ second coming will fall on the “Feasts of the Lord” as listed in Leviticus 23. Feasts of the Lord (or MO’EDIM in the Hebrew, KAIRON in the Greek). These were instituted by God, and given to Moses and the Israelites (Lev. 23) prior to their entering the Promised Land, and they played prominent roles in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple services.

God established these “appointed times” as “rehearsals” of the great redemptive events in Jesus’s life. The celebration and symbolism of each “Feast” foretold the redemptive event. These Feasts are divided into four “spring” Feasts during the spring of the year and three “fall” Feasts during September and October.

The primary prophetic meanings of the “spring” Feasts have already been fulfilled by Jesus at His First Coming.

Most Christians are familiar with Passover, the first of the four spring Feasts, and how it prefigured the death of Jesus on the cross. The blood of the sacrificial lamb, which was spread on the Jewish doorframes in Egypt to protect them from the Angel of Death, foreshadowed the blood of Jesus, the sinless Lamb of God. As we know, Jesus was the perfect, sinless, blood sacrifice uniquely acceptable to God. Only his death could pay the substitutionary judgment required by the Holy God for atonement of the sins of those who put their trust in him. Only Jesus, being the sinless Son of God, was forever acceptable as the sacrifice to take upon himself God’s punishment for our sins—-in God’s eyes our sins were transferred onto Jesus, and his death, and his death alone, paid our sin-debt before God. This is all pictured in Passover and is the primary and initial step in God’s plan of redemption. The three other spring Feasts prefigured the other redemptive works of Jesus at his First Coming. The second Feast, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, foretold the burial of Jesus, and the third Feast, First Fruits foretold the resurrection of our Lord. Shavuot (Pentecost) foretold the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. In addition, there are three Feasts of the Lord that have not yet been fulfilled, the “fall” Feasts—-Yom Teruah (Feast of the Blowing of Trumpets), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles). All of these fall Feasts occur in September/October on our Gregorian calendar and occur in the seventh month, Tishri, on the Jewish calendar each year. All these will be fulfilled related to Jesus’ Second Coming.

The Day of the Lord (God’s Wrath on the earth) begins on the same day as the Rapture. It extends from Yom Teruah on our Gregorian calendar (Tishri 1 on the Jewish calendar) of the Sixth Year of the 70th Week until Yom Kippur at the end of Year Seven.

The Resurrection and Rapture will occur on Yom Teruah at the end of the Sixth Year of the 70th Week, and Jesus will physically land upon the earth in power and glory on Yom Kippur at the end of Year Seven. That period is one year and ten days. This is supported by the witness of Isaiah: “For the Lord has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion” (Isaiah 34:8). The ten days between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur are known as the Days of Awe. These are ten days of introspection and repentance for Israel as they prepare for the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). We have seen that Daniel and his friends were tested for ten days when they didn’t eat the King’s food. We are also told in Revelation that the believers in Smyrna will be imprisoned for ten days as well. Both of these are allusions to this time of repentance. It is incredibly likely that the seven Bowl Judgments will happen during these ten days during Year Seven, immediately before the end of the 70th Week. Interestingly, Noah was in the Ark for exactly one year and ten days (calculated from Gen 7:11, Gen. 8:14). This is not a coincidence. Also, the year before a Jubilee year is always one year and ten days.

In the Olivet Discourse Jesus told us the Rapture of the Church will be “like the ‘days’ of Noah.” The Church will be off the earth in Heaven for the identical time that Noah was raised above the earth on the Ark: one year and ten days.

PROOF GOD IS IN CONTROL OF WORLD EVENTS

Jonathan Cahn sits down with Erick Stakelbeck on TBN’s Praise to discuss his book, “The Paradigm“, and how scriptures of ancient Israel point directly to U.S. presidents and those around them.

The video reveals through current events how in control God is of events in our day, down to the day and even hour of them occurring. Jonathan Cahn shows how Bill and Hillary Clinton mirror King Ahab and Jezabel in the days of Elijah. Obama and Trump have also mirrored images of characters in O.T. stories. It is interesting to hear how God downloads revelation to Jonathan. You will be blessed.

THE COSMOS IS ON GOD’S TIMELINE

We must never forget this planet, indeed the Cosmos is on God’s timeline. Also. that we were made to be in relationship with our Creator God. We are made in His image and are to be His image bearers on the Earth. It is also clear that God intended for us to live forever by eating from the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. It is why after disobeying God, Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden. “Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the Tree of Life and eat, and live foreverGenesis 3:22

Before Jesus went to die on the Cross note what he said about eternal life and how we gain access to it.

Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.John 17:1-3

God has given us the entire history of the Cosmos He created from its beginning to its firey end in the Bible.

Mankind has already forgotten that God judged the Earth previously with the worldwide flood of Noah’s day and what God said after that event.

I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.Genesis 8:21-22

Read the last sentence in that Scripture again. God will make sure that “While the earth remains seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” We are on God’s timeline nothing we do on His Earth will upset that timeline which He has given us in His Word, the Bible.

God’s pro-life command is given in Genesis 1 where humanity is told to “be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth..”. Genesis 1:28. This command is repeated in Genesis 9 with the additional emphasis to “increase greatly on the earth and multiply in it…” Genesis 9:7 This command has never been modified or diminished. Given that God prescibed the death penalty for those people that destroy a life it is clear that God’s instruction concerning human life is to make human life don’t destroy human life and this would of course include abortion. Those complicit in abortion are in a very grave position before God.

Back to God’s timeline, we are fast approaching the time of Jesus second coming to Earth. It is a time of rejoicing for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and a time of hell on earth for the unrepentant as God pours out His wrath with the Trumpet (Revelation 8:6-21,11:15-19) and Bowl judgements (Revelation 16:1-21).

Where are you headed? To a time of rejoicing or a time of hell on earth? I have given you the Scriptures for God’s Trumpet and Bowl judgements so you cannot say you were not told what is coming for those that do not accept God’s greatest gift: Jesus Christ, His Son.

A SUPERNATURAL MOVE OF GOD AMONG THE YOUNG

A new sign of the ongoing revival among America’s young people is being reported again out of Alabama. In the latest example of this supernatural move of God, hundreds of students at the University of Alabama gave their lives to Christ and were immediately baptized in a fountain. “It happened again!” Christian author and speaker Jennie Allen announced on Instagram after the amazing event unfolded. “Last night at the University of Alabama thousands of students gathered. Hundreds responded to the gospel and hundreds were baptized,” Allen shared

The spiritual awakening that first captured headlines at Asbury College more than a year ago is still spreading nationwide. This Alabama awakening is just the latest move of God that Jennie Allen has witnessed as she has travelled to minister on college campuses. In a post several weeks ago after a similar outpouring of revival at Florida State University, Allen said on Instagram, “Hundreds of students came forward to trust Jesus. We can’t explain what’s happening apart from the Spirit.”

It is great to report on these good news stories when so much evil is happening, and surveys reveal Gen Z is the lost generation largely due to our schools and universities teaching evolution and billions of years of Earth’s history. Fortunately, God has told us in advance that before Jesus returns to restore righteousness He told us apostasy, a great falling away from faith would occur. We need to know God is in control and He is purifying His church in preparation for the rapture. In Revelation, the church of Philadelphia is the church that is raptured, read what Jesus has to say to that church, and also to the church that is left behind, the church of Laodicea (Rev. 3:14-22), to face the wrath of God, poured out with the Trumpet and Bowl judgments.

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.
“‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name... Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
Revelation 3:7-13

YFC REACHING GEN Z WITH 3STORY WAY OF LIFE

The American ministry Youth for Christ (YFC) is reporting a 20% increase in the number of young people they saw turning to Christ in 2023. The report also shows exciting trends of evangelism amongst young believers. It reveals that in the US, nearly 8000 teenagers gave their lives to Jesus under the ministry’s outreach last year. The ministry also claims that 25% more children were sharing their faith with their peers compared to 2022. Youth for Christ’s CEO and President, Jake Bland, has called it a “rising metric of young leaders” – saying that Generation Z seems to be much more open to discussions. “They are living out YFC’s ‘3Story way of life’ and it’s this rising metric of young leaders that has our full attention.

3Story® is the phrase YFC uses to describe how Christians live in a relationship with God and others. They use three circles to represent these stories—God’s Story, my own story, and the stories of young people. When the circles overlap, it means friendship is growing, trust is building, and transformation is happening.

3Story® helps people who love Jesus stay tightly connected to Him so they might become good news as they talk about the Good News of God’s love to others. It’s a lifestyle we pursue. We want to be people who love like Jesus loves us, who serve as Jesus serves and who are consistently drawing near to God for the sake of young people.

YFC pursues 11-19-year-olds who are walking through pivotal, story-shaping moments; like navigating a new school, becoming a teen parent, spending time in a juvenile institution, or simply enduring the culture of social media. Young people often feel marginalized. As we live 3Story® lives, we represent Jesus who is steady and trustworthy so that young people feel seen, heard, and valued.

Generation Z seems to be much more open to discussions about faith among their peers than the generations that immediately preceded them. It’s clear that this is a strategic opportunity God is creating for ministries like YFC and our Kingdom partners.”

The report noted that compared to last year:

  • Seven percent more teens made a first-time decision for Christ.
  • Thirty-eight percent more students engaged with local churches this year.
  • Twenty-one percent more kids began sharing their faith with their friends.

“Because of God’s faithfulness, 2,907 kids became multipliers of the hope of Christ!” Bland enthused. Yet even as YFC looks back on the year of ministry, Bland notes the numbers only matter because they tell a story.

In YFC, we aren’t celebrating numbers, scope, or scale. We celebrate how Christ is moving”.

These are more than numbers — every number has a name, and every name has a story. The harvest is ripe among this generation and Jesus is still calling us to pray earnestly and trust Him as Lord of the harvest, the solution for every soul, every story.” Youth For Christ, whose first full-time staff member was Dr Billy Graham in 1944, operates in over 100 nations and has over 130 chapters that impact communities across America through over 1,200 local ministry sites.

DID GOD PLAY A ROLE IN KANSAS CITY CHIEFS WINNING SUPER BOWL LVIII?

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave God the glory after winning Super Bowl LVIII Sunday night, saying that the Lord “challenged” his team as it faced adversity all season. Mahomes has often spoken about his faith when presented with the opportunity. He told reporters before last year’s Super Bowl that his faith plays a role in everything he does. 

My Christian faith plays a role in everything that I do,” Mahomes told the press. “I mean, I always ask God to lead me in the right direction and let me be who I am for His name.”

Mahomes, who threw for 333 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception en route to winning his third Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award, said in a post-game interview on CBS that the team dealt with adversity all season as the offense struggled at times. “It means a ton. Just the adversity we dealt with this year and to come through. The guys never faltered,” the 28-year-old father of two said. “I give God the glory. He challenged us to make us better. I am proud of my guys. They did awesome. Legendary.”

Chiefs owner Clark Hunt also gave glory to God in his comments after receiving the Vince Lombardi Trophy on stage.  

“First of all I want to congratulate [head coach] Andy [Reid], the football team, our coaching staff on an incredible performance. It’s been an amazing five-year run,” Hunt said. “I want to thank the Lord for giving us this opportunity.”

God is in control of all that happens in His World so I ask could God have honoured these two men’s faith with a win? The secular media would not agree but I think so.

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM 2024 AGENDA, PART 5

I have already covered 1. The Pagan Ritual established the Satanic authority that WEF is operating under. 2. The precursor to the Mark of the Beast – a Digital ID, 3. Global Taxes that will fund WEF’s agenda, Part 4: Efforts to “Force” Social Media Companies to Yield to Government Censorship. and now 5. Reigning in Donald Trump, and U.S. Sovereignty

A persistent discomfort pulsed through the 2024 World Economic Forum: the possibility Donald Trump will defeat Joe Biden this November. To compensate, multiple speakers discussed the joys of circumventing democracy and hemming in Trump, or any elected leader who represents the average man instead of Davos Man.

“How are we assessing the election risk? There is a risk the wrong leaders will get elected,” declared Bloomberg TV’s Haslinda Amin while moderating WEF’s panel on global risks. To assure WEF had no doubts about who the “wrong leaders” might be, Alex Soros claimed Friday that America had an “unwritten” system of checks and balances until “one man, Donald Trump, literally came in and just took that all away.”

“So, what Trump is a monster at is, sort of, completely rattling and bringing down, sort of, the structures of institutions,” added Soros’s fellow panelist Rachel Botsman, who describes herself as “a world-renowned expert on an explosive new era of trust and technology”, and yet she delivered this babble. “Democracy often depends on trustworthy systems being able to hold untrustworthy individuals, right?” asked Botsman rhetorically, ironically in a panel on global democracy.

“Fortunately, the United States has very strong institutions,” including “the courts,” replied S&P Global President Douglas L. Peterson. “We’re gonna have to rely on them, depending on what the outcome of the election is. And we also need to make sure we stay engaged through global institutions like the United Nations, NATO, and other organizations around the world — and I add into that international trade pacts,” to limit U.S. sovereignty under Donald Trump. 

However, a U.S. government official revealed that globalists do not intend to rely solely on government institutions. Climate Envoy John Kerry boasted that no president would be able to stop the Green agenda favored by WEF elites, due to public-private partnerships and government incentives.

“I don’t want this obviously, but if you wound up with a different president who was opposed to climate crisis, I got news for you: “No one politician anywhere in the world can undo what is happening now”, boasted Kerry. “You know as well as I do,” Kerry told his fellow WEF attendees. “The marketplace is doing this. The only issue for all of us is not whether or not we can get or will get to a low carbon and no carbon economy globally. We will.”

In reality, “the marketplace” is taking taxpayer funds and following government dictates to produce electric vehicles consumers do not want. The Biden administration dedicated $12 billion — including $2 billion in grants — to convert U.S. auto plants into EV plants and another $7.5 billion to build charging stations which, sadly, do not charge in the winter. But in November, nearly 4,000 car dealers informed the Biden administration, “The supply of unsold BEVs (battery electric vehicles) is surging, as they are not selling nearly as fast as they are arriving at our dealerships — even with deep price cuts, manufacturer incentives, and generous government incentives.” No doubt technology will eventually produce batteries that charge quickly and can deliver long mileage, safely at low and high temperatures but this is not the case at the moment so government efforts to force change will not happen without a “police state”.

It is so comforting to know that God is in control and that events are totally under His control. Moreover, He told us in advance so that we would know He is in control. The coming tribulation that He allows Christians to experience is to purify His bride.

EMINENT INVESTMENT ANALYST FORECASTS AMERICA’S DEMISE

A decade after his most controversial prediction, The End of America, where he warned of the cultural and economic decay that’s plaguing America. Porter Stansberry (Stansberry Research – Investment Advisory Service) just released the shocking finale to his original documentary, and his decade-long investigation points to one inescapable conclusion: From the growing number of riots and protests to the banking collapses and loss of America’s AAA credit rating, to ever-increasing government authoritarianism…  

He says this story is far bigger, far more important, and far more urgent than perhaps anything he has ever done. 

He warns America has now reached the financial precipice… and that what’s coming next will trigger a new national crisis that will reshape our entire country for decades to come.  

Unless you take action immediately, Porter says you could risk being wiped out financially in the chaos ahead. Yet nobody is warning you of what’s coming or showing you how to protect yourself, your family, and your finances. That’s why, after months of work, he has released an incredible new documentary film that explores everything in exacting detail. – The event that will trigger a new national crisis. 

– How this looming, unstoppable event will reshape everything about the American economy, culture, and financial system. 

The exact moves Porter is personally making – and urging his friends and family to follow too – in order to safeguard their savings, investments, and way of life. Plus much, much more. Right now, for a limited time only, you can watch his new documentary at no cost. 

Just click here and it’ll start streaming.

Sadly, Porter makes no mention of God and the Biblical prophecies that forecast what we see happening in the world today: godlessness and lawlessness would precede Jesus’ return to defeat the Antichrist and the world’s armies at the battle of Armageddon. At this time Jesus judges the nations and sets up His Millennial Kingdom.

Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.Revelation 20:4-6
